Create a new file

When you start the Plazmic® Composer or create a new project, you can select a predefined canvas size based on the BlackBerry® device you specify as your template. By default, the Plazmic Composer creates a canvas that is the same dimensions as the LCD screen of the chosen template device. If you choose, you can create a custom canvas size for your project.

Click File > New.

In the Name field, type a name for your new Plazmic Composer project.

In the Device field, select a device to use as a template for your project. The Plazmic Composer sets the canvas height and width values to the screen size of the selected device.

To set custom dimensions for your canvas, specify the dimensions in pixels in the Width and Height fields.

Specify the background color by choosing one of Transparent, White, or Custom.

If you chose Custom in Step 5, click the adjacent color swatch to open the Color Picker, then select the color you want to use for your background.
